Okay, could you first try checking the selective sync settings using the steps in my previous post to see if the folder in question is unchecked?

Dropbox StaffHi B West, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
How did you delete the folder off your local drive?
Did you use selective sync, which deletes local folders and keeps them on the site, or did you mark the folder as available online-only?
This will help me to assist further!
